Lights

I just got back from going to see a drive-through lights display with some friends.  We loaded up in their minivan after church was over and went. I think we adults were more excited than the two children the trip was ostensibly for since the three of us chatted animatedly and the two little ones napped soundly until we actually got to the lights themselves. 

As we drove through the property, we oohed and aahed the "Vegas Nativity," at a Loch Ness monster with a Santa hat, at flashing Christmas trees in a rainbow of colors, and we pointed out things we liked.  The whole trip through took us only a fraction of the time it had taken us to drive out to the location itself, but it was worth every minute.  We laughed and talked, and everyone was smiling as we turned the vehicle homeward again.  We'd somehow taken a portion of that holiday glow away from that little property with us.  What a nice feeling.
